Suggest Treatment For Severe Leg Pain

clots usually cause swelling, varicose veins, tenderness, warmth/redness,
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned about clots with a history of a pain in the leg but the presence of a clot for three months would normally present with additional signs and symptoms.
Eg swelling of the legs (due to blockage of blood flow from the clot), varicose veins should be distinct.
An acute clot is also normally associated with redness, increased warmth, tenderness.
If any of these signs/symptoms are present then you should have a doppler ultrasound of the legs to see if a clot is present. This is an ultrasound that takes a look at the veins.
If these symptoms are not present, the chance of a clot is less but if you remain concerned, the test can still be ordered by your doctor.
The only way to know for sure would be to visualize with the ultrasound.
It is possible since the pain is temporarily relieved by movement or rubbing that it may be muscular in nature but your doctor can determine this during your assessment.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
